SB 1332 Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry.

Introduced by: R. Edward Houck | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry. Moves current law provisions regarding the Registry into Title 9.1 (Commonwealth Public Safety) from Title 19.2 (Criminal Procedure). The bill breaks the Code provisions into shorter, more readable sections. The offenses for which registration is required and the registration requirements are not changed from current law. The bill states more explicitly than current law that July 1, 1994, is the trigger date for registration.

The bill adds a provision that registrants who are enrolled or employed by an institution of higher education must indicate the name of the institution on their registration form and that the State Police must notify the chief law-enforcement officer of the institution of the person's registration. The institution of higher education provision is a requirement that Virginia must comply with by October 1, 2003, in order to avoid a possible reduction in Byrne grant funds.
